" Beta, Will you please marry my son" The man infront of me asked me with pleading eyes,while on his death bed. How could i say 'no' to the person who meant so much for me. "Don't think about anything. Nothing will happen to you. You gonna get better sir. please." I pleaded to the man himself. I couldn't stop the tears streaming down my face. He smiled a bit. In fraction on days he looked so different that it was hard to believe my own eyes. As if the man aged quite a lot in just 3 days. " I know bacche (kiddo) I'm not gonna make it even to the surgery room. They say you know when your time is gonna stop. And I know I don't have a lot of time." "So please marry my son." I took his hand in mine and looked towards the corner where HE was standing. There's no emotions in his eyes. As if his time got stopped in that exact moment. To give the father and son some privacy I came out from that hospital room. *** Never in my darkest dream ever I've thought about breaking out in front of the person whom I despised for more than 10 years. " Papa take some rest. Your surgery is just In an hour. We can talk about other stuff after you completely healed." I said wiping my tears. " You never listened to anything I said. Yet I've no regrets. Because I knew I deserved that. But Beta(kid) please just fulfill my one wish. Get married to that girl." He said with a crumbling voice. " Papa.. I.." "One more thing.. do not trust anyone, not even your own eyes. And promise Me you'll never hurt that girl I any way." Even in his last time he was talking about that girl. "I've hurt you a lot baccha. If you can, please forgive me. You'll get to know why I'm urging you to marry that girl. She's the only one who can save you. Now let me go." "I love you my son." And then the line in the monitor went in a straight line. My father left me forever.. he said he doesn't have any regrets.. but I do.. So much of it.. That I will barely can survive with all these regrets...
